Leathface, I'm with you. I think I'll just hold it and maybe polish in up a bit,make the black shine. Then I'll just hold it and look at it.
I despise winter,so in Wisconsin I'll have to wait for March/April before I get a chance to clear the dead scrubs from a long snow crushing winter here.
But the day will come soon enough when I get to see how it holds up in scrub clearance and the such. Great camp knife this summer too! What else do you need? I can say this I will be sad when it looses its first chunk of crinkle cote! I love the way it looks before you use it.
